RALEIGH – The most recent Civitas Poll shows that while most North Carolina voters aren’t terrified of catching the Ebola virus, a sizable number are worried they or family members will catch the virus.
More than half of the people polled were not too worried, or worried at all, that they or their family members would catch the virus, but 45 percent of people were somewhat or very worried about the disease.
While most are not worried about catching the virus, more disapprove of the Obama administration’s handling of the threat posed by the Ebola outbreak than approve of its handling of the outbreak.
The poll questioned 600 registered voters, of whom 25 percent were “cell phone only” users and were contacted via cell phone. The survey was taken Oct. 15-18, and had a margin of error of plus/minus 4 percent.
